Coritiba’s Unusual Signings: Jesé Rodríguez and Islam Slimani Join the ‘Football Manager Team’

On social media, the behavior outside the market standards of the five-time world champion land has already earned the club from Paraná the nickname “Football Manager team”, in reference to the popular football game famous precisely for providing several signings considered “outside of reality”.

Jesé was once galactic and problematic

The last of the unusual reinforcements announced by Coritiba, Jesé Rodríguez is a creation of Real Madrid’s youth teams, participated in the victorious Champions League campaigns in 2013/14 and 2015/16 and came to be seen as one of the biggest promises in Spanish football.

But, after he left the Santiago Bernabéu and signed a million-dollar contract with Paris Saint-Germain, the Spaniard was never the same.

Jesé gained weight, became involved in the most varied controversies (he left the stadium before the end of the match, had romantic relationships beyond the media and even risked starting his career as a singer) and lost space in Europe. At 30, he was out of contract after being relegated to the Italian second division with Sampdoria.

Slimani is a legend in Algeria

With 41 goals scored in 93 matches, Islam Slimani is simply the Algerian national team’s all-time top scorer. The center forward debuted for the national team in 2012, played in five editions of the African Cup of Nations and was at the 2014 World Cup.
